This ranking appraises SGH for all of its amazing work and Singapore is fortunate to have one of the best hospitals in the world. Professor Kenneth Kwek, CEO of Singapore General Hospital, commented on the new list saying: “We are humbled to be recognized for our medical and nursing care.” Maybe next year, SGH could climb even higher on the list as they work to improve their already spectacular hospital.
